This engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. For superior handling, every RDX comes standard with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®).
Appearance
The Acura ADX presents a contemporary look with variations between its trims. The base model is outfitted with 18-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, and a power liftgate. Stepping up to the A-Spec trim adds a panoramic sunroof, 19-inch wheels, and darkened exterior accents. The A-Spec Advance trim further enhances the exterior with power-folding side mirrors and a hands-free power liftgate.
The Acura RDX features a bold design, starting with 19-inch wheels and a standard panoramic sunroof. The RDX A-Spec offers a more aggressive aesthetic, with 20-inch dark gray wheels and specialized interior styling. The RDX Advance trim includes its own exclusive 19-inch wheel design.
